Don't Just Dream About Traveling - Plan it!

Hey there!
Wow - only one more day to January and we are already in the second month of 2019.  Time flies quickly and that is why you should not put your life and your dreams on hold!  

One of the reasons that Tanya and I started Travelin' Cousins was to inspire people to embrace their inner traveler.  Far too many folks talk about and dream about their "bucket list" but that is not enough.  You also need to take some action to make your fantasies a reality.

One of the ways that Tanya and I do it -- we put it on the calendar!  We set a plan to make it come true and our wish for you is that you do the same.  Don't let the days pass you by without living your dreams and seeing and doing those things that will enrich your life!

Moving right along...have you checked out our HOME page lately?  It's a good place for you to connect with every once in a while for new videos of your favorite cousins, as well as links to articles written by us, as well as our GUEST BLOGS.

​Newly added videos of Tanya on her recent European trip to Barcelona and Mediterranean Cruise have been newly added.  

Also featured is our Guest Blog from Selina Chen, Top 5 Best Cities To Visit In China

Today I'll be playing a great deal of catch up with some writing deadlines, blog business as well as house chores.

But, before I bid you adieu, here is an interesting article published in Afar.com.  A short, but informative read:

Bit by the Travel Bug
​

National Plan a Vacation Day?!      Wow, great find Elisa!!

This has our names written all over it. I had no idea this was even a thing or a day. Now it is up to you. No one else is gonna do it for ya. Get the calendar out and make some travel plans/commitments! 

Of course there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not planning a vacation. But that's just me. I've been bite by the travel bug and there is no known antidote. Oh well.

Happy Hump-day to you. Can you believe that it's already Wednesday or like Elisa noted that we only have one more day in the month! Whoa.

I'm sure that my month flew by since I was bopping around all over the Atlantic, Europe and Africa.  What an amazing trip it was!!

I've added a couple of new videos to the HOME page and I will be adding pictures from this trip and our China trip very soon.
Stay tuned.

Our next trip that is scheduled is heading to the snowy wonderland of Lake Tahoe. Which departs in 23 Days. 

Plus in the meantime I'm still trying to work out the dates and the plans for a little Valentine's weekend getaway to frigid Chicago for me and Dave. We went last year (which was no where near as COLD) and had an great time!

This is little Aurora (Mika's sister) and it was my first time playing with her since I've returned. She is such a cute little dumpling that we all adore!

That's about all for today. See ya back here tomorrow.
